CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio— The West Virginia teenage runaway found by police at an area Subway restaurant met the two men accused of having unlawful sexual conduct with her online.

Court records say the 14-year-old girl met David Mull, 44, of Cleveland Heights, on a website for people looking for casual sex and chatted with him for about a week.

Mull then had an Eastlake man, Sirrobert Lampkins, 42, drive him to Parkersburg, W. Va., pick the girl up and drive her back to Mull’s home in the 3100 block of Kensington Road, where both men are accused of having sex with her.

Court records say Cleveland Heights police was alerted the girl was at the Subway on Lee Road and Meadowbrook Boulevard, court records say. Court and police records say the girl told investigators she was living at Mull’s house for a few days.

Court records say the girl told police they met on the website and talked for about a week. The two men picked her up on Jan. 15.

Lampkins and Mull then smoked marijuana and Lampkins had sex with the girl. Mull told Lampkins to leave and then Mull and the girl had sex the next day, court records say.

A judge allowed for the two men’s DNA to be taken and tested to compare what was found during the girl’s rape kit exam at University Hospitals, records say.

The kit and DNA were sent to the state’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation for testing, court records say.

Mull and Lampkins both have previous criminal convictions, according to a search of local court records. Mull was convicted by a Lake County jury in 2011 on a fifth-degree felony charge of telephone harassment and was sentenced to 163 days in jail.

Lampkins served several short prison stints dating to a 1992 burglary conviction, when he was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

Lampkins also was sentenced to 18 months incarceration for felony drug possession in 1996, eight months for drug possession in 1998, 18 months in 2006 for domestic violence and two years for burglary in 2010.

He was also placed on three years probation for an attempted burglary conviction in 2003.
